Interview: ‘Logan’ Director James Mangold on Making Unique Movies

“Why not allow different directors to put on the same opera and see how the directors do it differently?” There’s nothing like talking with filmmakers about their films. The best interviews are when the discussion starts naturally and flows in different directions. We could keep talking for hours, if only the publicist didn’t come in and cut us off. I interviewed Hugh Jackman a few years ago for the release of The Wolverine, but this time I wanted to talk to the director – James Mangold. I was lucky to get time with James after the premiere of his new Wolverine film, Logan, at the Berlin Film Festival. We talked about making this movie something unique, as well as his dislike for movie “universes”, the freedom of the R-rating, and much more. ›››
